Item სოციალური მედიის როლი უცხოური ენის ათვისებაში(უნივერსალი, 2019) გოგოხია, რუსუდან; Gogokhia, RusudanSocial Media Language Learning is a learning approach that concentrates on connecting interactive social media channels with language learners. Studies indicate that language learning is both inherently social and interactive so this method facilitates learning. Social Media Language Learning isn’t just about surfing the web, watching random videos or clicking interesting links—although some form of each of those is at least a logical component of the method.
